SUPER CHOOK!!
Is that how we sometimes are with God?? We sometimes forget where our strength and help comes from.
So let us heed this timely advice from the Bible…
Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
(Romans 12:3; Galatians 6:3; Philippians 2:3-4 – NLT)
And some warnings about the fate of the proud…
Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble,
but he keeps his distance from the proud.God opposes the proud but favours the humble.
For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has a day of reckoning.
He will punish the proud and mighty and bring down everything that is exalted.The Lord tears down the house of the proud, but he protects the property of widows.
Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall.
Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honour.
(Psalm 138:6; James 4:6; Isaiah 2:12; Proverbs 15:25; 16:18; 29:23
So let’s not be like SUPER CHOOK!!
Ge 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
